  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    E = -dV/dr, here the negative sign signifies that ​

    Solutions

    Answer :- d

    Solution :- The negative sign is just a convention and it signifies that the direction of E is opposite to the direction in which potential increases.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Work done in carrying 2C charge in a circular path of radius 2m around a charge of 10C is ​

    Solutions

    The overall work performed in carrying a 2coulomb charge in a circular orbit of radius 3 m around a charge of 10 coulomb is calculated below.
    It is a well-known fact that W=qdv.
    Here dV is the change in overall potential. In the circular orbit of r potential at each point is similar.
    Most significantly, the value of r is 3.  
    The value of dv=0 and hence W=q0 =0.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    Dimensional formula for potential difference is

    Solutions

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    A point charge 2nC is located at origin. What is the potential at (1,0,0)?

    Solutions

     V = Q/(4 πεr), where r = 1m
    V = (2 X 10-9 )/(4 πεx 1) = 18 volts.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    If 100 J of work has to be done in moving an electric charge of 4C from a place where potential is -5 V to another place, where potential is V volt. The value of V is

    Solutions

    From the definition, the work done to a test charge ‘q0 ’from one place to another place in an electric field is given by the formula
    W=q0 x[vfinal -vinitial ]
    100=4x[v-(-5)]
    v+5=25
    v=20V
     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    A particle of charge q1  = 3 μC  is located on x-axis at the point x1  = 6 cm. A second  point charge q2  = 2 μC  is placed on the x-axis at x2  = -4 cm. The absolute electric potential at the origin is ​

    Solutions

    V=kq/r
    Therefore, Vnet =Kx[(2 µc/4) + (3 µc/6)]
    =9c109 x10-6 [1/2+1/2]x102
    =9x105

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Electric potential is

    Solutions

    Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge. In equation form, V=U/q, where U is the potential energy, q is the charge, and V is the electric potential. Since both the potential energy and charge are scalar quantities, so does the potential.
    And it 's dimension [ L2 M1 T-3 I-1 ]

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    A long, hollow conducting cylinder is kept coaxially inside another long, hollow conducting cylinder of larger radius. Both the cylinders are initially electrically neutral.

    Solutions

    When the charge is given to inner cylinder than there is an electric field is produced between cylinders which is given by
    and due to this a potential difference is developed between two cylinders.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Equal charges are given to two spheres of different radii. The potential will

    Solutions

    When equal charges are given to two spheres of different radii, the potential will be more or the smaller sphere as per the equation, Potential = Charge / Radius.
    Since potential is inversely proportional to radius, the smaller radius will have higher potential and vice versa.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Consider a solid cube made up of insulating material having a uniform volume charge density. Assuming the electrostatic potential to be zero at infinity, the ratio of the potential at a corner of the cube to that at the centre will be  

    Solutions

    By dimensional analysis

    but by superposition

    Because of the centre of the larger cube lies at a corner of the eight smaller cubes of which it is made
    therefore,
